SILVER IONS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question:
How are the silver ions actually added to the water?
Answer:
The silver ion cartridge contains ceramic beads that are infused with silver. By placing the cartridge in the circulation pump filter standpipe,
it is subjected to the continuous flow of water created by the pump’s 24 hour circulation. The flowing water, through a chemical erosion process,
carries with it the silver ions necessary to add a sanitizing residual to the spa water.
Question:
What happens if I do not add the weekly shock treatment?
Answer:
The contaminants in the water may coat the silver ion cartridge’s ceramic beads, blocking the silver ions’ release into the water. When this
occurs, there will be no residual of silver ions present in the water, eliminating them from the sanitizing process.
Question:
How often should the
FRESHWATER
Ag+
silver ion purifier cartridge be replaced?
Answer:
The cartridge must be replaced every four months. Please refer to the instructions provided with each
FRESHWATER
Ag+
silver ion purifier
cartridge.
Question:
Can I use the
FRESHWATER
III ozone system in addition to the silver ion system?
Answer:
Yes. In fact, it is preferred! The use of the
FRESHWATER
III ozone system will enhance the performance of the silver ions and may
substantially reduce the need for supplemental chemical treatments when the spa is not in use.
Question:
Why can’t I use bromine or biguanides instead of MPS or chlorine?
Answer:
Bromine and biguanides will chemically react with the sanitizing action of the silver ions. This will eliminate their beneficial sanitizing effect.
DOS AND DON’TS
• DO check your MPS or dichlor chemical level prior to each use.
• DO shock the spa weekly (use either MPS or sodium dichlor).
• DO change the
FRESHWATER
Ag+
silver ion purifier every four months.
• DO test Total Alkalinity and pH weekly.
